Solar panels on The Civic?
With thanks to Alsager Chronicle
Alsager Town Council declared a climate emergency in July 2019, and they are now looking at actions they can take to address the issue. One action being considered is to install solar panels on the roof of The Civic. When The Civic was refurbished it was ensured that the roof was sufficiently robust to bear the weight of solar panels. Also it is understood that panels have become significantly lighter in recent years.
Support for vulnerable households
With thanks to Alsager Nub News and Alsager Chronicle
Cheshire East Council has been allocated £2.2m of government funding to help provide food and essentials for vulnerable households over the winter months. The household support fund runs from October 6 to March 31, 2022. Contact Alsager Community Support for further information.
Also please do not forget Alsager foodbank which provides emergency food and support to the local community of Alsager, Rode Heath, Oakhanger, Church Lawton and Scholar Green.
It works with front line services providing emergency food for people in times of crisis. Donate if you are able.
Request for speed indicators
With thanks to Alsager Chronicle
Alsager Town Council has requested Cheshire East Highways to install some speed indicator devices in the town, to deter speeding. So far Cheshire East has refused (requiring evidence of serious accidents and deaths first), but the Town Council is determined to pursue this further. Cheshire Police and Highways are looking for pilot towns to place some speed indicators and the Town Council clerk has submitted a bid. If successful the Town Council will need to make a contribution to the costs.

Currently writing a piece on the premier of the new Bond film at Alsager Civic on the 21st November, and just wanted to know what you all think!
Are you planning to go dressed à la 007?
Are you a massive lover or hater of Bond?
